Into The Unknown||Taejin??

?UGLY TRUTHS?

Namjoon continued "Apparently when your father went to kill Soomin's husband, he shot down Soomin too"

Taehyung frowned.

"And the two of them were wheeled to the hospital."

Taehyung hummed again a silent permission for Namjoon to continue.

"Minho went to the hospital they said and opened up old records. Soomin's husband died on the way. And-...."

Dread settled in Taehyung's stomach "What is it?"

"According to the hospital records, Soomin died too. She did not make it"

Namjoon stood straight again as he let Taehyung soak up the information.

Taehyung glanced at Soomin who was waiting for Jin and Hoseok to come with a worried look on her face.

Soomin was right here. Taehyung would never mistake her face.

Then who died.

"Something doesn't add up" Taehyung muttered to himself.

Possibilities swirled inside his head "Do you think she played that trick to make people think she is dead so that they cannot suspect her for her crimes?"

Namjoon shook his head "Not possible. She has made public appearances since then for her advertising agency. Someone else died that night."

And there was click in Taehyung's head.

Like the last piece of puzzle being put into its place with that satisfying click sound.

Taehyung walked back to Soomin who turned towards him with hate written all over her face.

"That day your husband died-"

"Killed" She corrected with a seething voice.

"Another person was killed too. Your sister" Taehyung breathed out.

Soomin's face went blank.

"Your twin sister. My father mistook her for you. And he killed the two of them"

Soomin just stared at Taehyung, her face a mixture of thousands of emotions.

"Oh my god" Taehyung said gripping his own hair as everything made sense to him the end "Jin is your twin sister's son. The one who died that night"

Taehyung had hit the right spot.

And the dam broke.

Soomin fell forward, but Taehyung caught her. She sobbed as he held onto Taehyung's hands, as her legs gave away from under her.

She covered her face with one of her hands as sobs raked through her body "She died" she whispered to herself as she continued crying.

Taehyung held her patting her back as she tried to calm herself down.

"Soomin" Taehyung said "He deserves to know. You cannot hide it from him forever"

Soomin took a long breath trying to clear her throat "When- when I went to the hospital, she was dying already"

Taehyung kept patting her back listening to her words.

"I- I apologized to her. Because that bullet was meant for me. S-she disregarded everything and made me promise her that I will take care of Jin. He was- he was just three years old. I- I promised her too and I took him in as my own son"

Taehyung closed his eyes as tears threatened to fall.

"I wanted to tell him" Soomin told bringing herself together "I really did. But I am scared. My guilty conscience eats me from the inside everyday. If something happens to Jin I will not survive. I am afraid he will run away if I tell him the truth."
